Sorry for the lack of words the past few days.
Though by the end of this, you may wish that I had kept w ith
my current trend of posting photos…
Anyway, it’s been busy.
I’ve been tired.
Christmas is practically here, and I feel like it completely sneaked (snuck?) up on me.
(I hate that word…I honestly don’t know which is corrrect, and I’m too lazy to go to dictionary.com to look it up. ;))
Yesterday we invited some neighbors over for our 1st Annual Neighborhood Christmas Party.
Translation: a chance to say hi to and chat with those people we live near but hardly ever see in the w
inter. 
It was fun…a mix of different ages, some people we know well, some people we don’t know at all…and it worked. It was really good. (And really sugar-filled.) And I was sad when everyone went home.
Tobin is home for two weeks (thank you, Judson U) and that’s nice. M ae
and I had a playdate this morning, he met us for lunch at the mall, then we each had to get some things done before going home.
Once Mae went down for her nap, I went for a nice, 3-mile run (really, it was nice ’cause it was 45 out) then it was home to make dinner.
I was impressed that I ran the whole thing after not running for two weeks… though I was definitely huffing and puffing by the end!
I really love my Christmas tree…and, well, Christmas in general. I mean, I know the reason for Christmas…and that’s what the season is to us. But I’d be lying if I said I didn’t get excited to put up the tree every year. Then, decorate it.
White lights…always white lights. Then ornaments, the number depending on the year and the mood we’re in that day. 😉 The ones that are special to us, a few extra, and then all the UNbreakable ones within Maelie-reach.
And then, I really, really love to just sit and look at the tree.
I’ll sit and look at it every night until Tobin makes me take it down… probably early January.
The one thing about Christmas I don’t enjoy is wrapping gifts. I put it off every year…I’m sure I will be wrapping them on Christmas Eve, just like always. My hubby is a very gifted (HAHA!!!) present-wrapper…too bad he can’t wrap his own gifts! I suppose that would ruin the surprise, huh?
I should wrap this up before midnight. (Did I SERIOUSLY just write that
? I’m rockin’ the puns tonight!)
I better end this before I can’t stop. 😉
‘Nite, friends.
